Mark your calendar on August 19th, the First anual World Strip Poker Championship will take place.

Winners will receive a golden fig leaf and 10,000 pounds (about $18k US). The concept started as an April Fool's Day joke, but spurred so much interest that the fooler became fool enough to launch the contest for real.

There is no word on whether cross over athletes such as Trinity Porter "Miss Nude Sydney 2005 and Miss DownUnder New South Wales 2006" will make her first forray into the Strip Poker Championship.
